Not this year, but next year is an option

The Canuck’s don’t have much Cap room. They have no serious needs (they need offensive, but unlike most team’s they’ll be okay with only a 2nd tier player to fix there need), and will only aquire some depth player’s, and one (maybe two, but unlikely) top 6 forward. When the season is over though, Naslund, Morrison, and Cooke all have expiring contract’s, which will give the Canuck’s some breathing room, and possible enough room to acquire a true superstar (if we don’t acquire someone that good, it’s okay too). I’ll do the transaction stuff, and i’ll have some reasonable idea’s.

There is a big hole on the Nashville defense, and in goal all of a sudden. They lost Timmonen, and Vokoun who were probably there best player’s, and I think Nashville’s GM doesn’t care if they sacerfice a forward to fix these needs. The Canuck’s trade Schiender though, and geta good prospect back (not as good though), and dump Ohlund’s salary for a good forward (although Ohlund deserve’s his salary).

Resign:

Ryan Shannon, 4 years, 3.0 mil. (750k per season)Drew MacIntyre, 1 year, 500kKevin Klein, 2 years, 1.4 mil., two way (700k per season if he plays with the big club)Lukas Krajicek, 3 years, 2.7 mil. (900k per season)Brent Sopel, 2 years, 2.4 mil., 2nd year is option (1.2 mil per season)

About 50-51 million (If the Cap goes up like it is now, it will be 54-58 million)

The offensive is good. They might be capable of being top 8 or in the NHL, but will likely stay around 10-12th. The defensive is young and inexperienced, but they have veterns to relie on, and unlike Pittsburgh the veterns play the big role’s on the team, so inexperience probably won’t be a factor. The goatending is the same, and there’s a chance it won’t be as good, but it will for sure be solid, and maybe won’t win as many games for the Canucks (well they have a better team, so they won’t need as good of goaltending) but it will be top 5 in the NHL, and possible top 2 again. The offesnvie is good, the defensive is rock solid, and the goaltending is awesome, combine that with a good PK and a slightly above average PP (it will be better since there is more offensive) you have a Cup contender.
